FARMERS’ UNION 

A meeting of the F.U.A. was 
held in the curling rink Wed. 
Jan, 22 at 8 p.m. Pres. John 
Gordon called the meeting to 
order and Secretary Gilbert 
Berdahl read the minutes of 
the previous meeting. 

Mr. Coburn, District Direc- 
tor and Mr. Boles, Suh District 
Director gave a report on the 
Annual Convention ai Edmon- 
ton-and what the Union is do- 
ing. 

It was pointed out by the 
above speakers that we must 
have 1a large membership if 
we are going to get our fair 
share of the national income. 

There is a membership of 
approximately 26,00 out of a 
possible 85,000 farmers in Al- 
berta so you can see the load 
the paid-up members are car- 
rying for the non members. 
Let’s all join up and make it a 
strong union this year. 

There is to be a meeting in 
the curling rink Mon. Feb. 10 
at 8 p.m. for the purpose of 
keeping the local going. If 
there is no more support than 
what we have been getting, 
there is a danger of-it folding 
up, At this meeting you will 
have the privilege of electing 
a new Slate of officers, if there 
is enough interest shown by 
your attendance to carry on. 

Please make an effort to at- 
tend the next meeting on the 
10th of Feb. and let’s try to 
help ourselves out of the price 
squeeze we are in, as we can- 
not expect others to do it for 
us.

school opened 

A new 11-room school, valued at 
$250,000, was recently opened in 
this northern Saskatchewan com- 
munity on the shores of Lake 
Athabaska 

Five years ago two one-room 
schools served the region. Now 
this mining community boasts 
three large schools and a single 
one-room school, a total of 21 
rooms, serving the needs of 450 
students 

Mayor Vincent presented the 
keys of the school to Town Man- 
ager G. Darychuk, who passed 
them to Principal W. Markowsky. 

In handing the keys to J. Gib- 
son, teacher in charge of the new 
school, Mr. Markowsky paid trib- 
ute to the public-spirited citizens 
“who with foresight and courage 
gave abundantly of their time to 
care for the educational needs of 
our greatest possession—our Cchil- 
dren.” 

The building, he said, has the 
latest in heating, lighting and 
provisions for good health and 
physical education. ‘‘These com- 
bined with a library, audo-visual 
aids and the like provide an en- 
vironment conducive to the best 
education a community can af- 
ford,” he said

BREWING AND MALTING INDUSTRIES officially opened a 
——— new pilot brewing plant in Winnipeg. Equipment costing $100,000 has 
been installed in a 30 x 20 space on the top floor of the Grain Exchange 
Building: The installations are a miniature exact-scale replica of a 
modern brewery. Primarily the plant is for testing brewing quality 
of new barley varieties. From samples of 15 pounds it will be possible 
to determine whether a barley variety will make good beer. Hitherto 
tests of this nature have had to be made on what is designated as 
field scale tests which have required stocks of 4,000 bushels. Plant 
breeders and the brewing industry may now find out quickly whether 
a new barley variety has required brewing standards. In picture left

Newspaper leadership 


Very many people know the 
business of a weekly newspaper 
publisher better than does the 
publisher himself. We are remind- 
ed of that frequently by readers 
whose views don’t always coincide 
with our own. Now a Canadian 
daily newspaper has undertaken 
the task of telling us what we 
should do, 


A few weeks back, the Cana- 
dian Weeky Newspapers Associa- 
tion held its annual meeting at 
Banff, Some 80 miles away, the 
editor of The Calgary Herald read 
some news copy which came from 
the meeting. He read that the 
weekly publishers were not satis- 
fied with the amount of political 
advertising that had appeared in 
the weekly press prior to the last 
election, 

After that the editor apparent- 
ly was carried away by a dream. 
He found it “shocking” that week- 
ly newspaper editors feel they did 
not get a fair share of such ad- 
vertising. He took us to task for 
feeling that we should expect 
Such a share. But then he 
ceeded to indicate that for 


litical advertising would be noth- 
ing more than-a favor ‘conferred 
upon us by the politicians, At 
least, that is the meaning we take 
from this exerpt: 

“To expect a 


‘share’ 


the 


political party—and for a 
‘favor’ would it not want a 
favor?” 

Perhaps it is because we are 


dense, but we fail to comprehend 
just why we of the weeklies feel 
we would be receiving a favor if 
we were to get a fair share of po- 


litical advertising. We can find 
nothing in the dictionary which 
links share with favor. We have 


been associated with shares of va- 
rious kinds for quite some years, 
but never looked 


upon them as 
favors. Indeed, there are some 
shares we look upon with quite 


some disfavor. ' 

The editor of The Calgary Her- 
ald missed the point. What was 
considered at the meeting was 
what steps could be taken to see 
that we do receive a fair share of 
election advertising in the future. 
We know full well that we will 
not increase our advertising by 
portraying weary old women 
weeping salty tears in our aprons. 
We know that we must sell poli- 
ticilans on the idea that the most 
effective way to reach Canadians 
is through the Country's weekly 
press, 

That is what was in the minds 
of the weekly newspapermen at 
Banff, Weekly newspaper publish- 
ers do not want handouts. They 
are, on the whole, far more inde- 
pendent than the majority of pub- 
lishers of daily newspapers. Wit- 
ness the editorials in that particu- 
lav issue of The Calgary Herald. 
One was a pat on the back for

PIRITUAL 
TRENGTH 


FOR 


R. BARCLAY WARREN 


PERSONAL RELIGION 
After Andrew had spent a day 
with Jesus Christ, “He first find- 
eth his own brother Simon, and 
saith unto him, We have found 
the Messias, which is, being inter- 
preted, the Christ. And he brought 
him to Jesus.’ (John 1:41, 42), 
When one has met Jesus Christ, 
his greatest desire is that others 
should meet Him, too. It is nat- 
ural to turn to those nearest us, 
the people we know best. Andrew 
and Simen were brothers and 
worked together as_ fishermen, 
Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. 
Philip after meeting Jesus found 
Nathaniel and brought him 
Jesus. We must tell others. 


But before one accepts the in- 
vitation he will likely look closely 
at the one who invites. What has 
Jesus Christ done for him? Is it 
worthwhile? Is there evidence of 
a change in his life? Has he pass- 
ed from death unto life, from 
darkness to light, from bondage 
to liberty? Has he been born 
again? The questioner may not 
express it in Biblical phrases but

THE CARBON CHRONICLE, 


Mexico: last stronghold of 
itinerant street craftsman 


By EMIL ZUBRYN 


Mexico is one of the last strong- 
holds for the itinerant street 
craftsman. 


The self-employed one-man bus- 
iness operations doggedly resist 
advances of the modern machine 
age and automation, 


In a land of rugged individual- 
ists, the street worker is one of 
the most rugged of all. He may 
work long hours; has the burden 
of lugging heavy equipment 
about; and his earnings may be 
lower than what he could earn in 
industry or in a retail establish- 
ment, 

But the street workers stead- 
fastly cling to their trades. They 
are business men in their own 
right, offering a community ser- 
vice. They aren't vagrants who 
must flee from police hounding. 
Everyone of them has a special 
permit which grants the right to 
practice his calling. The license 


Aircraft carriers 
outmoded 
by subs 


Jane's Fighting Ships predicts} 
that nuclear-powered submarines | 
equipped with guided missiles may | 
replace aircraft carriers as the 
spearhead of naval warfare with- 
in a few years. 


The reference work on _ the 
world’s navies, in its diamond 
jubilee edition, notes that “ad- 
vances in nuclear propulsion en- 
able submarines to remain sub-| 
merged indefinitely and to launch 
guided missile attacks with far) 
greater chances of survival than) 
surfact ships, including aircraft} 


carriers.” 

Nuclear - powered 
needed “only a fraction of the 
maintenance and none of the naval 
support required by aircraft car- 


{the raucous 


submarines 


cost a nominal sum, ranging from 
but 10 pesos (usually for handi- 
capped persons) to no more than 
a 100 pesos (80 cents to $8) a 
year, 

There are all types of ambulant 
street workers, from the knife and 
scissor sharpener to plumbers, 
carpenters, electricians, shoemak- 
ers, etc., who hawk their services 
in stentorian, unintelligible bel- 
lows as they pass from one neigh- 
borhood to another. 

There are even sidewalk auto- 
mobile mechanics who will strip a 
car down, and put it together 
again at the curb side. And at a 
fee far less than that charged by 
legitimate garages. 

Biggest money earners include 
the sharpener and the peddlers of 
ice cream, hot dogs and “walking 
lunch counters”, these latter fea- 
ure “tortas” or Mexican sand- 
wiches—a hollowed out roll filled 
with meat or cheese and amply 
“spiked” with hot sauces and 
chile. The “tacos” (tortillas filled 
with pork, beef or chicken, also 
amply embellished with fiery 
sauces) are also a popular item. 
The ‘‘tortas” and “tacos”, with a 
soft drink, offer a lunch menu for 
many Mexican office and indus- 
trial workers. The price for three 
sandwiches and soft drink comes 
to 3 pesos (24 cents). 

There are the ambulant musi- 
cians, anything from a one-man 
piano or organ player to “bands” 
made up of four to six gaily-clad 
“mariachis” (strolling street mu- 
sicians) who, for 10 pesos (80 
cents) a song, are ready to regale 


|tourists with Mexican ballads or 


“ranchero” (cowboy) 
songs. Their big business is play- 
ing for drunks in local neighbor- 
hood bars, and for lovelorn swains 
who “woo” their ladies with songs 
—at three o'clock in the morning. 

Ambulant barbers trim the 
locks of young and old for 2 pesos 
(16 cents) with the standard 


riers.” 

Jane’s estimates the Russian 
submarine fleet at more than 475 
units, of which a large percent- 
age are new long-range boats, and 
that Russia will commission 75 to 
85 submarines each year for 
next two years. 

3ut, although Russia may have 
superiority in numbers, the United | 
States cannot be said to have | 
ged behind in pressing submarine | 
design toward the ultimate devel- 
opment with several 
powered submarines.”

First Indian brigadier, 
Ontario magistrate dies 


Oliver Milton Martin, first Can- 
adian Indian ever to attain the 
rank of brigadier in the Canadian 
army and the first to sit as an On- 
tario magistrate, died in hospital. 

He was 64 and had been ill for 
several weeks following an opera- 
tion. 

He attained the army rank dur- 
ing the Second World War when 
he commanded several brigades in 
British Columbia and later was 
acting commander of military dis- 
trict No. 2 with headquarters in 
Toronto. His military ~ service 
started at 15 as a boy bugler. , 


In 1945 after his retirement 
from the army he was appointed 
magistrate in -suburban York 
County, the first Indian to hold 
such a judicial appointment in 
Ontario. 

Born on the Six Nations Indian 
reserve nnear Brantford, Magis- 
trate Martin was educated on re- 
serve schools before taking to the 
army as a boy bugler. He served 
with distinction on active service 
in both world wars and in the re- 
serve army in the years between. 

From 1922 to 1940 he taught 
school in the Toronto area, be- 
coming principal of Toronto's 
Danforth Park School before he 
resigned to rejoin the army during 
the Second World War. 

Twice he was denied funds for 
higher education but went on to 
carve a distinguished career in the 
teaching proféssion, the army and 
the courts. 

In 1913 the reserve’s council of 
chiefs petitioned the federal gov- 
ernment to allow use of Indian 
trust funds to educate him and 
another young Indian as lawyers. 
The request was denied. 

Again after the First World 
War he personally petitioned for 
funds from the same federal trust 
to-finance a university education 
and in later life recalled the offi- 
cial comment when he was turned 
down: 

“It’s no use sending you Indians 
to school. You only go back to the 
reserve anyway.” 

During the First World War he 
enlisted with Toronto's 114th Bat- 


Nature magazine mis-states 
Jack Miner's opinion or philosophy 


The highly respected Nature 
Magazine in its June-July, 1956, 
issue carried an article by Mr. 
Maurice Broun in which he said, 
“Most hawk-shooters that I have 
encountered insist that all preda- 
tory creatures should be killed— 
the Jack Miner attitude.” 

Jack Miner wrote three books; 
13 publications in one month car- 
ried articles written by him; he 
had written hundreds of articles 
for publication between 1896 and 
1944. At the time of his death 
biography writers credited him 
with having spoken to more peo- 
ple over a period of 30 years from 
the lecture platform than any 
other person, In all his writings 
and lectures he never used the 
word “exterminate” nor insisted 
“that all predatory § creatures 
should be killed’; he used the 
word “control”, His philosophy 
was that if man shot ducks for 
food man should shoot the crows 
that live on ducks’ eggs to the 
same proportion, If man shot deer 
for food man should kill the tim- 
ber wolves to the same propor-

talion and served overseas with 
the army until 1917 when he 
transferred to the Royal Flying 
Corps, having earned a commis- 
sion through the ranks. For the 
duration of the war he served as 
a pilot officer and observer. 

When his post-war request for 
education assistance was rejected 
he tried for a time to work his 
way through the University of 
Toronto, working by day and at- 
tepding night classes and summer 
courses. He finally gave that up, 
went to the Ontario Normal 
School and became a teacher, 

Throughout the years he prefer- 
red to be called a Canadian rather 
than an Indian. Soon after his 
First World War service he sev- 
ered connections with the Indian 
reserve, 

Years later in a county court 
session when he heard a case 
brought by one neighbor against 
another for his calling him a for- 
eigner, Magistrate Martin com- 
mented: 

“You're both foreigners as far 
as I’m concerned. If the truth 
were known, I’m the only real 
Canadian in this court.”

Storm. clouds on employment front 


\ (The Sun, Grenfell, Sask.) 

Jobs aren't as easy to come by now as they were a 
few months ago. Reports of layoffs are appearing with 
disquieting frequency. So far as employment opportuni- 
ties in Canada are concerned, the bloom is off the peach. 

Folks who wonder why the great Canadian boom 
has suddenly begun to go sour shouldn't have too much 
trouble finding the answer. 

The trouble lies in a loss of confidence. 

Manufacturers have begun to lose confidence because 
nothing has been done to curb the flow of imports which 
are undermining the jobs of factory workers 

Farmers have begun to lose confidence because the 
Canadian Wheat Board hasn't been able to sell as much 
grain as had been expected. 

Industrialists are losing confidence because the wage 
sprial has brought about a profit squeeze leaving them 
with insufficient capital to expand and improve. 

Investors are losing confidence because high taxes 
are making the risk of new investment hardly worth the 
candle. 

Confidence is a delicate plant. It wilts quickly, and 
it can quickly be reduced provided the right measures 
are adopted by those whose decisious have the greatest 
impact on employment prospects. Some of those decisions, 
in the realm of taxation and trade policy, lie with the 
Federal government. Others ,such as wage policy, lie with 
organized labor. Together, the politicians and the labor 
leaders have it in their hands torestore confidence, and 
to obliterate the haunting fear of unemployment. 


Danger! Danger! 
Highway pedestrians 


(The Progress, Winkler, Man.) 

It is unfortunate that death or a serious injury is 
necessary to point out to pedestrians the dangers of walk- 
ing along a highway without taking advantage of each 
safety precaution. 

Naturally the danger increases as visibility to the 
motorist is marred by dust, heavy rain, snow and sleet 
and when pedestrians fail to walk against the approach- 
ing traffic. 

Fatalities and serious accidents to pedestrians, on 


‘the increase for the past few years, are always of the 


“heart-breaking’’ variety. The motorist involved in a col- 
lision with a pedestrian, whether he is to blame or not 
suffers the worst possible type of remorse. 

Greatest deterent to accidents to pedestrians on our 
highways could come through rules and _ regulations 
against picking up hitch-hikers other than within town or 
city limits. Just recently a motorist suffered injuries ond 
costly damage to his car when he stopped to pickup a 
hitch-hiker and the vehicle behind bashed in his trunk 
and fender portion. 

Pedestrians constantly walking a certain section of 
any road find that often the hiking is better, well off the 
shoulder of the highway and the element of 
greatly reduced. 


Whose neck “stuck out?” 


(From The Markdale Standard) 

Every newspaper editor, now and then, is approached 
by some person in his community who demands that he 
expose some situation or write words of criticism. 

Often there is a justification for the visit to tell the 
editor what he should do about:conditions, and the editor 
is usually sympathetic towards the visitor, who, by the 
time he makes the visit has mulled the situation over in 
his mind so much that the is frequently more than just 
a little angry. A suggestion that an article be written 
about the situation, using his name, brings the out-cry, 
“Leave my name out of it!’’ Then the editor explains that 


dangex 


the visitor should write a letter, signed by himself, for 
publication in the “Letter to the Editor’ column. 
That doesn’t help to pacify the visitor either. He 


doesn't want to become involved in the criticism himself— 
it might affect his business or his prestige. But he knows, 
and quite definitely, what an editor is supposed to do, 
and says so very plainly. And, of course, that raises the 
query in the editor's mind as to why he (the visitor) 
never became an editor, when he is so confident that he 
knows just what an editor should do in acquiescing to 
every demand for “‘telling-off'’ the people responsible for 
incurring his wrath. 


A great advance 
(The Times, Kennedy, Sask., Sept. 25, 1957) 

Weekly editors across the province are this week 
congratulating the publisher and staff of the Melville 
Advance on the opening of a fine new printiny plant. 
Mixed with the congratulations are a good many deep 
sighs and green-eyed looks, for the new premises of 
the Melville weekly are beautiful to behold. 

Like many other provincial weeklies, the Advance 
has made great progress in the past decade, Published 
by its energetic young owner, the Advance has obviously 
benefitted greatly from his wartime experience when he 
commanded the printing unit of the First Canadian Army. 

In recent years the Melville Advance has been a 
strong contender for top honors in the weeklies’ Better 
Newspapers Competitions. This year in Saskatchewan it 
made a clean sweep of the highest circulation class, 
taking first place in the best all-round and editorial page 
classes. 

On the basis of past achievement and present plant 
expansion, readers and advertisers in the Melville area 
can rest assured they are receiving the very bet of news- 
papering from publisher Juckes, editor Thompson and staff 
of the Advance.

“It was the same thing in

been sort of following this min-| the good, kind people. with 


ing game. Most of them moved 
down from Yellowknife, or came 
from Sudbury and points east. 
They put their money into this 
town when it was a big risk, but 
for most of them ¢t has paid. 

Among them is Mayor Paul 
Vincent. He had worked for a fuel 
agent in Yellowknife, and follow- 
ed the boom to Uranium City 
Where the invested everything he 
had in his own oi] agency. 

“I wouldn't do it again,” he 
says. “Believe me, I had a lot of 
nights without sleep when I first 
started. But now I'm doing okay.” 

Mr. Vincent will spend this win- 
ter in Florida. 

Another of these Yellowknife 
men is Henry (Red) Dusseault. 
He operates a trucking firm which 
this year handled about 40,000 
tons of supplies landed at nearby 
Bushell from barges plying the 
Athabaska. His trucks also were 
hauling ore. 

These men and others, such as 
hotel manager Norm Jepperson, 
hardware merchant Dana Spence, 
druggist Roy Robinson, banker 
Doug Ross and town manager 
Greg Darychuk, try to be sure 
they and their families get “out- 
side” as often as possible. 

For example, one man’s wife 
had a Aoothache and knew there 
was a dentist in the clinic a few 
blocks away, but nevertheless 
boarded a plane, It cost her more 
than $100 to go to Edmonton for 
the extraction, but the tooth was 
a good excuse. 

“It’s good te get out at least 
once a-year and pound some pave- 
ment,” says Mrs. Ben Maguire, 
wife of another hardware mer- 
chant. “Stay up here too long at 
one time, and you're bound to go 
a bit squirrelly.” 

Residents of Uranium City 
make their own entertainment. 
There are house parties, baseball 
games, water-skiing on nearby 


Unsung heroes! 
AT LOCKWOOD 
By Mrs. B. D. Gardiner 

The longer one lives in ° this 
community, the more one realizes 
what very fine people we have in 
our midst. This thought was 
prompted by the comfortable feel- 
ing in church Sunday morning. 
, Extra warmth was provided from 
the old stove set up again to 
assist the wood and coal furnace, 
and the. porch placed over the 
front door to help keep out the 
winter draughts. These things 
don’t happen by beggar ig i is 

e in- 

terest of the church at heart, who 
set these things in order. All 
through the year, someone cuts 
the grass, applies a coat of paint 
here and there, repairs windows 
« .. all just for the doing, to keep 
the United Church pleasing and 
inviting to those who may enter 
the gates. Yes, your correspon- 
dent felt quite a glow of pride and 
warmth on Sunday morning in 
church, and fully realized there 
are many unsung heroes and 
heroines, close at hand. — The 
Manitou, Watrous, Sask., Dec. 12, 
1957. 
Martin and Beaverlodge lakes, 
trout fishing and camping. “it's 
a wonderful place for a guy who 
likes the outdoors,” says Mr. Jep- 
peson. 

And then there are the poker 
games, with miners floating into 
town to take a chance at high 
stakes, And other talk of seeing 
$8,000 wagered in a single snooker 
game. ? 

The Saskatchewan government 
liquor store—one of the first build- 
ings erected here—does a better- 
than-average business. 

Norm Jeppeson claims his ho- 
tel’s beer parlor does the biggest 
business of any hotel in the prov- 
ince. He sells beer for 40 cents a 
bottle and loads up the hotel base- 
ment once a@ year with 140,000 
cases. 

But even in the last two years 
the town has started to settle 
down, Reports Dr, Jim Gray, one 
of three practitioners in the 700- 
square-mile area: 

“It has changed now from a 
rough-and-tumble Saturday night 
joint into a nice little town, where 
people are taking pride in their 
properties, It’s getting to be a 
good place to live.” 


Tomorrow is the greatest labor- 
saving device of today.

OUR AGRICULTURAL 
SOCIETY 

The changing patterns of ag- 
ricultural practices and the 
varying economic health of 
the portion of our population 
engaged directly in agricul- 
ture have meant a wide range 
of experiences for agricultural 
societies in general in the 
course of the past few years. 

In Alberta such societies 
have been organized under a 
statute of the provincial legis- 
lature called “The Agriculture 
Societies Act’ which became 
law in 1942. This act defines 
the objects of such societies, 
method of organization, offic- 
ers of societies,.procedure at 
annual meetings, and other 
details essential for the ifunct- 
ioning of an agricultural soc- 
iety. On examining the record 
of agricultural societies we 
find that some, in the normal 
process of development, have 
been organized to discharge 
some specific function, and 
having discharged that funct- 
- ion were no longer esseutial 
to their community. Hence 
they were dissolved. However, 
it now appears that a measure 
of stability has been reached 
for in the yezr 1956 no new 
societies were formed and no- 
ne were dissolved. 

The society which we have 
been considering in this col- 
umn was organized in the nor- 


Notice is further given that during the months of May 
and June the Commission will hold public hearings in Edmon- 
ton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Medicine: Hat, Red Deer, Grande 
Prairie and, perhaps, jn other places for the purpdse of receiv- 
ing briefs and submissions from persons and organizations re- 
lative to the matters under deliberation. Publication will be 
made in the press, in the localities selected, of the times and 
places of the public hearings, at which times and places all 
interested parties must be prepared to present their respec- 


tive submissions. 


Ten copies of all briefs and submissions must be filed 
with the Commission secretary during the interval of time 
March Ist to April 15th, 1958. All submissions are to be type- 
written and double-spaced, using one side of the paper only.

mal manner under the act 
described above and is known 
as “The Drumheller District 
Agricultural Society”. The dis- 
trict in question includes ail 
of two municipalities, Knee- 
hill and Starland, and part of 
aithird, Wheatland. Active su- 
pport of one kind or another 
derives from each and all of 
the towns and villages as well 
as the agricultural communit- 
ies situated within that very 
considerable area. The achie- 
vements of the society to date 
make an effective expression 
of the measure of support 
which has come from many 
sources.
